John Forbes Kerry net worth$198,794,683 - $839,038,000 annual income$15,550,935 - $77,540,000 The Center for Public Integrity: "The idea that Kerry has not helped or benefited from a specific special interest, which he has said, is utterly absurd. Anyone who gets millions of dollars over time, and thousands of dollars from specific donors, knows there's a symbiotic relationship. He needs the donors' money. The donors need favors. Welcome to Washington. That's how it works."Oh yes. The AP also reported that "at least three times in his Senate career, (Kerry) has recommended individuals for positions at federal home loan banks just before or after receiving political contributions from the nominees." http://www.sptimes.com/2004/02/08/Columns/Kerry__Edwards_take_a.shtml
